Pimm's No. 1 Cocktails
Explore 13 cocktail recipes made with Pimm's No. 1
Pimm’s No. 1 brings a distinctly British twist to cocktail making: a gin-based liqueur layered with fruit and warming spice notes that feel both bright and gently complex. It’s lighter than many full-strength spirits, but far more characterful than a simple mixer—adding a soft, aromatic backbone that plays well with citrus, bubbles, and fresh produce. In a glass, expect a smooth, refreshing profile where subtle botanicals meet hints of berry-like fruitiness and a lightly spiced finish.
That versatility is why Pimm’s No. 1 shows up in everything from long, thirst-quenching serves to more celebratory, sparkling drinks. It’s the heart of the iconic Pimm’s Cup style (often echoed in modern favourites like Pimm’s and Lemonade), but it can also be stretched into seasonal punches such as Winter Pimm’s Punch, or brightened with fizz for a Royale-style lift. Whether you like your cocktails crisp and easy-drinking or layered and punchy, Pimm’s offers a crowd-pleasing middle ground—approachable, refreshing, and endlessly adaptable with fruit, herbs, ginger, and citrus.
